Description

This antique mignonette features a small blueberry liqueur bottle, identifiable by its front label reading "Liqueur Myrtille". The bottle has an aged appearance, with a surface covered in an irregular, grey patina, suggesting sediment or old wax. The top is sealed with a dark red wax cap, handmade, typical of traditional spirit preservation methods.

The retro-style label features a colourful fruit basket illustration, with the words "Liqueur Myrtille" printed in old-style characters. Visible inscriptions also mention "Distillerie Artisanale J.P. Golley 68910 Labaroche". The overall impression suggests artisanal craftsmanship, reinforced by the visible wear and tear on the label: yellowed edges, small tears, and marks of age.

The overall shape of the bottle is slender, with pronounced shoulders and a long neck, covered in thick wax. The grainy and irregular exterior texture accentuates the vintage and authentic look of the piece. No information about the content or fill level is visible from the front shown.

This type of mignonette was commonly used to present alcohol samples or serve as a regional souvenir. The mention "18% vol" on the label indicates a low alcohol content, characteristic of traditional fruit liqueurs.

The overall aesthetic, combining coloured wax, a retro illustrated label, and a patinated surface, makes it a typical decorative object from the 1970s-1980s, although a precise date cannot be confirmed. The bottle is well-preserved on the visible side, despite authentic signs of wear that add to its decorative charm.
